Papanasam is a classic thriller and a perfect remake of Malayalam hit Drishyam (which was inspired by the Korean classic, Suspect X). The story and plot cannot be discussed. Every scene has a reason and full credit goes to director Jeethu Joseph for his brilliant screenplay. Kamal as always is fantastic and has played the role to perfection. There could be obvious comparisons to Mohanlal but both these are legends and we are not qualified enough to certify which one is better. Though I don’t know why this had to be Gauthami’s comeback film, still she has done her part well. Ghibran’s background score lifts the movie to a whole new level. So what if the film is a remake? Are all the hit films original? A rose by any name is a Rose, a classic in any language is a classic if it has been reproduced well. This one falls in that category.
